South Carolina: Clyburn Joins Colbert Busch on Campaign Trail

Assistant House Minority Leader James E. Clyburn, D-S.C., will join Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the favorite to win the Democratic nomination in South Carolina’s 1st District special election, in Charleston on Saturday.

The 11-term congressman “will be making an important announcement” alongside Colbert Busch, according to a press release from the campaign.

Clyburn will likely endorse Colbert Busch, the sister of comedian Stephen Colbert. Clyburn would be endorsing her over Ben Frasier, a perennial candidate, who is black. The primary will be held March 19.
